In this book, Engr Ekpe Ita has adroitly and with the analytical mind of an engineer, captured historical events of the period (1967-2017) from a 'Witness Account' point of view! He has done so, not in the complex language of Wole Soyinka's "The Man Died" but in the effective and understandable language of Chinua Achebe's "Things Fall Apart". A 'must read' for students of History but also for all those who love Cross River State...its Past, its Present, and its Future.
